Giant Bomb is a games-focused editorial site that became independently owned by members of its staff in 2025. The site is known for longform video, podcasts, reviews and community-driven coverage, and it is primarily monetized through paid subscriptions (memberships) and merchandise rather than conventional affiliate commerce; historically the business has relied on membership revenue and store sales as core income sources. While Giant Bomb has carried advertising and podcast sponsorships in the past, there are no broadly published third-party affiliate terms to reference.
This program is best suited to publishers and creators with engaged gaming audiences, such as gaming editorial sites, video channels, streamers and podcast publishers, plus community-driven platforms that can drive interest in memberships and branded merchandise. Content that focuses on in-depth reviews, video essays, episodes, or community recommendations aligns well with promoting subscription and store offerings.
The affiliate program is available at Takeads for approved publishers.
